Your system board has one connector for attaching diskette
interface signal cables, but you can install two diskette
interface drives to this connector if you have the proper
cables.
If you are installing a second diskette drive or a tape drive,
follow these guidelines:
1.
Replace the diskette-drive signal cable attached to the
diskette drive connector (labeled J102 on the system
board) with a diskette-drive signal cable that has two
connectors. Remember to reconnect the factory-
installed drive to the new cable.
2.
Do not change any settings on the factory-installed
diskette drive.
3.
Install the new drive.
4.
After completing the installation of the drive, start the
Setup utility and verify that the drive parameter
settings in the Devices and I/O Ports menu are correct.
See "BIOS Setup configuration" on page 6-1 for
details.
When you have finished installing the diskette drive, enter
Setup to make sure that the drive parameter setting is
correct. See "Loading the default settings" on page 6-5.
